[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 42863, member: 8344"] National Geographic is one of the Predatory Rights Grabbing organization. Read the rules to any feature/contest/weekly/monthly they have on their sight where the General public can upload their photos and give their rights way forever to National Geographic the moment they press SEND. All in the hope of being, "Picture of the Week" or being "discovered" or the like. I will bet that the vast majority of the people who submit don't have a clue they have been cheated! In regards to CNN, they are simply a sensational news station and I use the word NEWS lightly. What do they care how bad a picture is? It doesn't matter. More times than not, a local is THERE when a pro-photog isn't, so they have more access to on the spot coverage this way, the material is more exclusive and I am sure they pay nothing or next to nothing for the feed. Everyone has some form of imaging gear, phone, camera, camcorder... that any breaking news story will get covered. Like anything else, new technology kills some jobs and creates others. [/QUOTE]
